Metabolic Disease/Syndrome X/Insulin Resistance
Metabolic Disease
–Encyclopedia Britannica
Metabolic disease/Syndrome X are the
same and made up of any of the diseases or disorders that disrupt normal metabolism, the process of converting food to energy on a cellular level. Thousands of enzymes
participating in numerous interdependent metabolic pathways carry out this process.
Metabolic diseases affect the ability of the cell to perform critical biochemical reactions that involve the
processing or transport of proteins (amino acids), carbohydrates (sugars and
starches), or lipids (fattty acids).
“Normally, your digestive system breaks down some of the foods you eat
into sugar (glucose). Your blood carries the glucose to your body's tissues, where
the cells use it as fuel. Glucose enters your cells with the help of
insulin. In people with insulin resistance, cells don't respond normally to
insulin, and glucose can't enter the cells as easily. Your body reacts
by churning out more and more insulin to help glucose get into your cells. The
result is higher than normal levels of both insulin and glucose in your blood.
Although perhaps not high enough
to qualify as diabetes, an elevated glucose level still interferes with your
body processes. Increased insulin raises your triglyceride level and other
blood fat levels. It also interferes with how your kidneys work, leading to
higher blood pressure. These combined effects of insulin resistance put you at
risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other conditions.” MayoClinic

--Syndrome X Association:
“People with the metabolic syndrome
are at increased risk of coronary heart disease and other diseases related to
plaque buildups in artery walls (e.g., stroke and peripheral vascular disease)
and type 2 diabetes. The metabolic syndrome has become increasingly common in
the United States. It’s estimated that over 50 million Americans have it.
The dominant underlying risk factors
for this syndrome appear to be abdominal obesity and insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance is a generalized metabolic disorder, in which the body can’t
use insulin efficiently. This is why the metabolic syndrome is also called the
insulin resistance syndrome.” American Heart Association:
SO
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ENABLE YOUR BODY TO LESSEN THE AFFECTS OF METABOLIC DISEASE/SYNDROME X/INSULIN RESISTANCE?
Simply
put--feed our cells so they have the energy/atp to
convert our food and easily uptake glucose so they can in turn use it to
produce more energy for our bodies to optimally take care of all of functions needed to be healthier and live longer.
“Alfa PXP provides
each cell with 36 ATP whereas an equivalent amount of carbohydrate provides us
with 1 ATP. This is more energy than the
cell has ever seen before. It takes care
of all its cells duties and still has more energy than it’s ever seen before -
energy which it uses to do the work of healing.”

“Alfa PXP Forte’s ability to feed your cells at the molecular
level (98% absorption), at the same time protecting them from damage, means
this amazing functional food supports your body’s ability to:
• Fight the effects of Syndrome X
• Boost your immune system to fight illness and disease
• Get energy, vitality, mental clarity and focus
• Enhance circulation and brain function
• Target hormonal imbalances and poor sleep
• Fight depression, memory loss and dementia
• Decrease high blood pressure, elevated LDL and triglycerides
• Balance blood sugar levels and improve digestion
• Enhance libido and sexual performance
• Boost metabolic function and increase weight loss
• Fight disease and aging the natural, healthy way
Best of all, most PXP users report positive results in four weeks,
with symptoms of illness reversed in four to eight weeks. You may be just weeks
away from feeling better than you have in years.” Enzacta
